Highlights From The Simon’s Soirée 2024 At The Linc
Over the weekend, I got to pay a visit to the Stadium Complex down in South Philly, and, no, it was not to go do my public addressing job for the 76ers. On Saturday night, I attended the Simon’s Soirée 2024 at the Linc.
As we all know, Lincoln Financial Field is the home of the Philadelphia Eagles and there is no better place to be in the city than the Linc on a Sunday in the fall.
With that being said, it is also the perfect home for other non-football-related events as well.
If you remember my post from a few months ago, my buddy Dave Spadaro got married there, and my wife and I were in attendance!
It was an amazing venue for a wedding.
Well now this past Saturday night, the Linc was the perfect home for the Simon’s Soirée 2024.
Simon’s Heart Initiative…
For those who don’t know, Simon’s Heart is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to prevent sudden cardiac arrest, specifically among student-athletes.
It is definitely something that needs more recognition because it happens more than we realize on a local and national scale.
If you remember this past summer, Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, went into cardiac arrest during his first practice at the University of Southern California.
If it can happen to Bronny James, who comes from some of the best athletic genes we have ever seen, it can happen to anybody.
So while the Simon’s Soirée 2024 was a great event, it was also for a noble cause.
So For The Event Itself…
The event itself was actually hosted by my buddy and the previously mentioned Dave Spadaro, who is no stranger to events at the Linc being that he got married there and works for the Birds!
I also appeared on the microphone for a bit, which you can see below!
Some of the other guests in the building for the Simon’s Soirée 2024 include Amy Fadool from
NBC Sports, Jessica Kartalija from CBS, Shiba Russell from Fox 29, B.K. — known to the rest of the world as former Sixers executive Billy King — Mike Quick, Michael Barkann, and radio veteran, Valerie King.
B.K. also brought his son Reggie King is a basketball star in the making at Episcopal Academy.
Oh, and how could I forget some of the best mascots in the business — Swoop and Franklin!
Overall, Simon’s Soirée 2024 was a great time!
